- Lot Description
Classical World, Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 300 BCE. A fine pottery pyxis - a lidded box used mostly by women to hold cosmetics, jewelry, and other important items - displaying a hemispherical basin and lid that fit together to form a spherical body with a knob-like handle at the top, all sitting upon a tiered, pedestal foot. The lid is adorned with a red-figure "Lady of Fashion" - a motif often thought to show a woman with her hair done elaborately for her marriage day - along with a large palmette and swirling vegetal designs, all accented with white-painted highlights. Alternatively, the exterior of the base is decorated with a wreath of laurel leaves. A silvery iridescence has formed over the black glaze, adding a luminous quality to the vessel's elaborate design. Size: 4.125" in diameter x 5.75" H (10.5 cm x 14.6 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private T. G. collection, Williston, Florida, USA, # 2959, acquired in 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
